And again, maybe if you want to have that discussion, you can… you know… start having it. Offer your observations and your input; make the comparison and analysis you wish to see; discuss your subjective views; don't for a second believe that your opinions are in any way “objective” or “neutral”.

Brings up a few.
ED didn't sell ships while promising specific gameplay that should be implemented with said products.

Maybe some day they'll fix it....or they'll shove it off the roadmap like everything else to make some room for another silly fighter with a phallic weapon...
I should charge the snake oil salesman royalties...I wish I could say I was surprised, but alas, I cannot.
It was nice to see they had named a ship after you though
Anyway...made a little vid for Agony. It's more or less my day job in Star Citizen...boring as it is. Just a vid showing how the big ship docking goes compared to what we were discussing further back in this thread with no cockpit visual or audio telemetry to help. Not as exciting as Sovapid's offerings...but we can't all be shooting eachother in the face for da lulz now, can we? Someone has to deliver the bread
Where the hell are all of these Star Citizen keyboard warriors appearing from? I kinda liked it when it was all quiet and peaceful
It ended up longer than I had anticipated due to the fact there's a refuelling bug...you have to hover over the pad instead of landing first. Normally I land, click on the refuel etc and leave the ship whilst it'd doing it's thing. It's a big ship and takes a fair bit of juice so having to hang around while it refuels is an added pain.
Physics...to cut it short.
This is hilarious ^^Where the hell are all of these Star Citizen keyboard warriors appearing from? I kinda liked it when it was all quiet and peaceful
Not to play devil's advocate, but aren't those tiny hand-crafted maps for an arena slugger? Doesn't CIG have to make entire planets look good? I think 40,000km vs a kilometer is a big difference. Like that Battlefield 3 vs SC debate. One's all smoke and mirrors in the background, the other has a planet behind it. I could say some 10 year old games look better than Elite's moons by far, but it's a different thing.
Kinda this, to be honest. If I wanted space, I'd play Elite since that's all we really have, and our planets are just brown spuds most of the time. I downloaded SC to check out the planets I've not seen anywhere else. After playing all day I'm pretty stunned by them. Sure they're not "AAA arena map" good, but it's an entire planet beyond their hand-crafted sections. Like after you leave that desert city, what was? I can't recall... It's the big big city, I landed next to a pond, and instead of barren brown with a couple rocks Elite style, it was filled with random junk. Like, actual junk, not desert weeds. This planet is like a junkyard, and this was was like 20km from the city. That kind of impressed me that stuff is dotted around in the "empty" area that you think a player would never go. Like if the entire planet in Elite was geological sites or something.90% of the time I'm not looking at pretty blackness with dots in it anyway...most of what I see is this..
Then a bit of this...
Or maybe some of this perhaps.
Nobody really cares how pretty 'space' looks in SC...since there's not a lot of it to look at nor any real point in hanging around looking at it.
I have a feeling Elite will never escape the "wide as an ocean and as shallow as a puddle" stigma from the launch days.
Deep core mining is better than SC, but I liked SC mining better than standard laser at rock till empty from Elite. I had to pay attention to the rock rather than walk away like I usually do. But yeah, deep core is better by a good bit. It's interactive like the SC mining, but there's a couple more skilled based steps involved. Getting a keen eye for opal rocks, and generally getting an idea for the amount and size of charges per rock based on size.
Not in response to agony's thing here, but to you. Reading this thread a bit, it's very very biased towards Elite. But what can you expect? It's the official ED forum. Trying to walk in and tell them an alpha is better than their finished game will give you the same result as punching a brick wall. You'll break your hand and that brick wall be unfazed. And then the wall pill post a pic of your broken hand in instagram with a ASP X in front of it.
I actually enjoyed putzing around in a cave hand gathering ore. I only made like 15k, but in Elite that's enough to actually do stuff. Though I did make the mistake of putting my backpack into a "box" because I was like, "what's this feature do?" and had absolutely no idea how to sell it. Chat helped out. Apparently it just being in my ship was enough for ship terminals to find it. That was kinda neat, walked into a counter. Felt like a Fedex deliveryman again, signing off on a package.
